As I said, I can't really blame you for it, and I can't force you to do anything else. I'm not sure I would even if I could. I'm not ready to give up on this yet, either. I think, if we can figure something out, this will flow quite well. 

In all honesty, I haven't been poking you because my other partners have taught me it is rude to poke someone more than once a week. If I really can poke you every twenty four hours or so, I gladly would. This is a partnership, so keeping each other on task is hardly a big trial. I wanted you to know how I was feeling about it, because not saying anything wouldn't have solved anything. I certainly don't want to be a quitter.
